been unable to procure proper testi-
mony. His honor said that he had
thought of sending Mackinson to the
House of Correction in the assault case,
but on further consideration had con-
cluded to give him another trial. For
every time however, that he would be
convicted of violating the new prohi-
bition law he would lie sentenced to
six months in the House of Correction,
even if the whole time should be ten
years. Mackinson was sentenced to
80 days in Jail and fine of $500 and
COSTS and to stand committed until
fine and costs are paid. For assault
on George o. Carey of the North East
Star. he was given 80 days in Jail and
fine of 81 and costs.
We want the reader to stop here till
we say few words. This is very
fair specimen of the class of men into
whose hands the liquor business has
fallen.
All who pride themselves on having
any respectability have abandoned it.
And yet, in the face of these facts, we
often hear grave and worthy gentle
men, saying all prohibition laws are
failures! cant enforce them! Do these
grave and honored signors consider
for u momen hat in this quaso de-
tense of the business, they are ranging
themselves on the side of such men as
the Judge declares Mackinson to be?
Yet this is precisely what they are do
ing when ever they speak up for the
omnipotent power of Whiskey. If, in
place of using such palliative language
and in Chat of Old Hickory, would de-
clare, BY the Eternal! the law must
and shall be preserved! they would aid
in strengthening public sentiment and
confidence among law abiding and Or
der loving people, and in making the
law terror to such violators.
1t is the weak, cowardly, half excuse
for the violation which good people
make that discourages the faint heart
ed and emboldens that class of whom
Mackinson is fair representative. 1t
ia the love forl the old old trade hid
away in some secret chamber of the
heart of temperance people which makes
the war against it SO hard to press to
conquest and final browning victory.

County Roads.

Our esteemed Colora correspondent
who has furnished us several timely
articles on rural affairs, this week con y
tributes an article on 1.-THE Roads" full
of valuable suggestions. He truly says
in a private note that it is disgrace to
our boosted civilization, that We must
submit to such highways as those about
sThe Sum- for three months OF the
wear. when the war burthenel countries
of Europe can have hundreds of miles
of roads smooth as a floor. We entire
ly agree with our friend in this opinion.
And what makes the matter still more
aggravating is that the money necessa'
ry to turnpike or gravel all Of our main
thoroughfares to the central points OF
travel, is spent (wasted) on our roads.
1t is impossible for our farmers to make
a system of good roads. They have
neither the experience and knowledge,
the time, the labor at their disposal, or
the tools and machinery to do the
work; and the thousands Of dollars that
they pay in taxes to put work on the
roads is, as efectually wasted-thrown
away-as if they carried the money and
threw it into the numerous creeks For
there is where Their work goes There
can seldom be vestige OF the work put
on the roads one year. discovered the
next. 1t is all gone, washed away; and
all our expensive road mending is but
temporary patching in a bungling
way, like sewing rotten rags over the
holes in an old garment.
THE Roads" would be an excellent
subject for our Farmers Club to take
up and discuss through series of meet
ings, me- king it obligatory on each
member to gather all the information
possible on public roads. Some of the
States are bonding their towns or coun
ties to build gravel and stone roads. If
the main thoroughfares of our county
were built of stone or gravel the real
estate would be enhsnc in value Is to
90 per cent. Heavier loads at greater
speed could be hauled over them
Farmers are gradually waking up
slowly to be sure-but they are evident
ly waking out of their longer than Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep; and when they get
fairly on their feet and their eyes open
they will behold the improvements
which INVITE their attention and active
effort, looming up like chain OF
mountains before them. And it will
be such improvements as will rebound
to their betterment in every direction, =
mentally, morally, socially, politically
and financially. They will then be-
come masters of themselves, masters of
the situation, to direct with discretion,
treat humanely, deal justly and govern
wisely. Let them meet and council
together and the magnetism of num-
bers will give supernatural strength
to every individual The agricultural
interest of this nation is giant with a
hundred hands, with more power,
more wealth and more intellect than
all other avocations combined, if it
were brought into proper training to
develop its natio nal forces.

place is being fitted up for the accomoda

not, we know there is fine sulphur spring
only short distance north of us, and this,

The report of the Department Of Agri-
culture for May leaves much to be desired
as to the condition of the crops, and from
various causes 1t seems plain that the yield
in all the States, and for nearly all kinds
of crops, will be inferior to that Of last
year. Wheat will be nearly ten per cent.
lower, while rye has fallen off four per
cent and barley ten per cent. 1t is SON.
bre outlook, but In country which pro-
duces more than 1t can possibly consume
there is no such terror in falling of Of
crops as prevails In less favored lands.
